'Finding Deepika Padukone' for FINDING FANNY

Where is Deepika Padukone? Well, seems like it is pretty much going to be the case of 'Finding Deepika' during coming few months, what with her next Hindi film, FINDING FANNY, releasing only in the month of September. For an actress who had dominated 2013 all through from RACE to RAM-LEELA with YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANI and CHENNAI EXPRESS in between, it is going to be a 10 month long break from the big screen.

Though FINDING FANNY, which is presented by Fox, was expected a little earlier, it is now coming in the month of September. This is almost a year since RAM-LEELA. Interestingly, both films feature not just Deepika but also Ranveer Singh, albeit in a cameo.

Deepika is keeping busy though. While her shoot for HAPPY NEW YEAR is inching towards a close, she would soon be facing the camera for Imtiaz Ali's TAMAASHA with Ranbir Kapoor. Moreover, she would be reuniting for a full-fledged part with Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's BAJIRAO MASTANI. Meanwhile, her motion capture 3D computer-animated period film KOCHADAAIYAAN releases next Friday too.

"As for a feature film outing though, FINDING FANNY is going to be special for Deepika since it is based on a road trip set in Goa, with dialogues in English as well as Hindi," comments a senior crew member, "This is a unique outing for Deepika and with actors as diverse as Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapur joining her, the wait of 10 months would definitely be worth it."

When we tried contacting Deepika, we couldn't 'find' her. Guess she would be available when the journey of FINDING FANNY begins. Pun intended.
